Get the Balance Right

For the few weeks before and during the holidays, work is often feast or famine for a freelancer. In my particular case this year, with one client, it was definitely feast. Problem was, the feast was more like a 20-course meal, and he did not want to let anyone leave the table. He hit everyone working for him with a barrage of emails, sometimes as many as six a day, politely asking us to work more.
